About Boone

Boone is a small, mixed-breed dog with a bit of mystery to his lineage—some see a Kai Ken, others spot hints of Blue Heeler. He came in as an owner surrender, landing with the rescue after being found as a young pup. Boone's been with the team since late January and, as of April, the vet considered him about six months old. He’s crate trained and eager to play, but he’ll still need some consistent guidance to master house training. Boone’s outgoing, loves people, and has an active streak but also enjoys downtime. His vaccinations are up to date and he’s neutered. He thrives on activity and needs a fully fenced yard to explore safely. Eligibility is limited to New Jersey residents who own their own home—renters and those out of state are not a match. His adoption is structured as foster-to-adopt so both sides can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
